Answer 1

Answer:

16.1% is the percentage decrease.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Visitors in February = 1,562

Visitors in march = 1,310

We have to find the percentage decrease of the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March.

Percentage decrease =

$=\dfrac{\text{Change}}{\text{Original}}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{1562-1310}{1562}\times 100\%\\\\=\dfrac{252}{1562}\times 100\% = 16.1\%$

Thus, 16.1% is the percentage decrease in the number of visitors to Alec's website from February to March.
